Lusk - John
Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana, March 26, 1915
John Lusk died at his home near the Narrows of Sugar Creek on Friday.
Some time ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis but was able to take a
load of hogs to Indianapolis 10 days before his death which resulted
from pneumonia. Funeral services were held at Lusk Chapel near the home
on Sunday morning, Rev. Chas. Law of Bloomingdale in charge. Mrs. Mary
Shirk and Miss Bessie McClain, Doren, Marvin and Harry Clore, Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest Servies attended from here. Mrs. TJ Martin and son Donald
came from Terre Haute. He was born 78 years ago [1847] and with the
exception of a trip to California in the gold days, spent all his life
in the vicinity of the Narrows. He attended the Old Academy here, and in
former years was a frequent visitor. He was very eccentric and wanted
no one to come about his home. He leaves a considerable estate, mostly
land, of which there is over 1200 acres, much of it covered with virgin
timber. He was never married, and his estate will go to his nieces and
nephews, among which are the Clores of this place. - typed by kbz
